<p><strong>MEXICO CITY</strong> </p>
<p>The Mexican government has increased its calculation of the number of people who have disappeared since the start of the country’s drug war in 2006 and now lists 22,322 as missing, officials said Thursday. It had said in May that 8,000 people were missing.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/world/2014-08-22/around-world" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/world/2014-08-22/around-world#commentsWorldAirlineassistant attorney generalDominican RepublicFelipe CalderónFelipe CalderonGovernmentIllegal drug tradeLawLubbock Avalanche-JournalMariana BenitezMexican governmentMexico CityNatural DisasterPerson CareerpresidentQuotationWarWarWar on DrugsFri, 22 Aug 2014 05:15:13 +0000Staff186508 at http://lubbockonline.comMexico, US seek to boost student exchangeshttp://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2014-05-21/mexico-us-seek-boost-student-exchanges
<p>MEXICO CITY — Americans studying in Latin America have stopped looking so intently at Mexico, which has dropped from first to fourth for U.S. students going abroad in the region in 10 years. Only about 4,000 U.S. students study in Mexico, with crime and drug violence being the main deterrent. More American students go to Costa Rica, Argentina and Brazil today than Mexico.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2014-05-21/mexico-us-seek-boost-student-exchanges" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2014-05-21/mexico-us-seek-boost-student-exchanges#commentsFiled onlineE.

<p>MEXICO CITY — Mexico is ending the widespread access it gave to U.S. security agencies in the name of fighting drug trafficking and organized crime as the country’s new government seeks to change its focus from violence to its emerging economy.</p>
<p>The change was confirmed by Mexico’s Foreign Ministry on Monday, April 29, as the government lays out a broad bilateral agenda in advance of the Thursday, May 2, visit by U.S. President Barack Obama.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2013-04-30/mexico-seeks-new-security-agenda-us" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2013-04-30/mexico-seeks-new-security-agenda-us#commentsFiled onlineE.

<p>MEXICO CITY (AP) — Human Rights Watch called Mexico’s anti-drug offensive “disastrous” in a report Wednesday that cites 249 cases of disappearances the group says mostly show evidence of having been carried out by the military or law enforcement.</p>
<p>The report says the “enforced disappearances” follow a pattern in which security forces detain people without warrants at checkpoints, at homes or workplaces, or in public. When victims’ families ask about their relatives, security forces deny the detentions or instruct them to look for their loved ones at police stations or army bases.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/world/2013-02-21/report-mexico-disapearances-constitute-crisis" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/world/2013-02-21/report-mexico-disapearances-constitute-crisis#commentsWorldE.

<p><strong>MEXICO CITY</strong></p>
<p>A top official in Mexico’s new government on Monday harshly criticized the country’s U.S.-backed attack on drug cartel leaders for causing violence to surge, even as the incoming team offered an alternate security strategy largely devoid of details.</p>
<p>Interior Secretary Miguel Angel Osorio Chong opened a meeting of the National Security Council, saying that under the strategy of former President Felipe Calderon, who left office Dec. 1, “financial resources dedicated to security have more than doubled but unfortunately crime has increased.”</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/world/2012-12-18/around-world" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/world/2012-12-18/around-world#commentsWorldFelipe CalderónFelipe CalderonGovernmentInterior SecretaryLubbock Avalanche-JournalMexican Drug WarMexicoMexico CityMiguel Angel OsorioMiguel Angel Osorio ChongNational Security CouncilOsorioPerson CareerpresidentQuotationTue, 18 Dec 2012 06:05:27 +0000Staff117825 at http://lubbockonline.comMexico swears in president amid violent protestshttp://lubbockonline.com/local-news/2012-12-02/mexico-swears-president-amid-violent-protests

<p>MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s president-elect proposed a government reorganization Wednesday that would put the scandal-hit federal police under control of the department responsible for domestic security.</p>
<p>Enrique Pena Nieto said the purpose was “to create a new organization scheme to improve internal security ... and with that restore peace and tranquility for all Mexicans.”</p>
<p>Federal police are now part of a free-standing Public Security Department. Its chief, Genaro Garcia Luna, has deep ties to many in current President Felipe Calderon’s administration.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/world/2012-11-15/mexican-president-seeks-change-federal-police-light-coruption-allegations" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/world/2012-11-15/mexican-president-seeks-change-federal-police-light-coruption-allegations#commentsWorldArmyCalderónchiefCongressDepartment of the InteriorEnrique Peña NietoEnrique Pena NietoFederal PoliceFelipe CalderónFelipe CalderonGenaro Garcia LunaGovernmentLubbock Avalanche-JournalMexican Drug WarMexicoMexicoMexico CityOfficerPerson CareerPerson PartyPoliticsPoliticspresidentQuotationThu, 15 Nov 2012 06:22:53 +0000Staff113801 at http://lubbockonline.comAmidst 6-year offensive against drug cartels, Mexico fights wave of common crimehttp://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2012-10-20/amidst-6-year-offensive-against-drug-cartels-mexico-fights-wave-common-crime
<p>MORELIA, Mexico — On a cool September evening, about a half hour after the sun set on the rose-colored Baroque cathedral of this colonial city in western Mexico, three men burst into a Coca-Cola distribution center on the edge of town.</p>
<p>The robbers pistol-whipped three security guards, grabbed thousands of pesos in cash and fled into a poor neighborhood of crumbling brick houses. Sirens screaming, state police arrived to find the white Nissan Sentra they believe was the getaway car being engulfed in flames.</p>
